I was just curious, and I couldn't find a thread on it in a search, but when you guys make seitan do you pack down the flour? I usually do, but in the Everyday Dish seitan sausage recipe, she says not to. Should I not do that from now on?

I also always pack down any flour, for bread or cupcakes or anything.

What's right?

You should never pack flour! Technically, you should spoon into your measuring cup, then level, but I'm too lazy for that shiitake so I make sure it's not too settled (I shake the container I keep the flour in to loosen it up) then I scoop and level.

Yeah, I was taught you never, ever pack flour.

I confess that I had no idea what this thread would be about when I clicked on it (with a certain amount of trepidation). Now that I know what we're talking about, I'm bound to admit that while I don't pack in the flour, I do make it a point to BAKE IN THE FLAVOR!

Wow. Just made the baked seitan in VOTC. So much better, without packing it in.

No, I don't pack it in, I just scoop my measuring tin into the flour bag, roughly round off the top with my index finger and proceed.

Also, I thought you were going to ask if we ever pack it in on a a recipe that maybe looks like it isn't going to work out, like if our cupcakes sink or we accidentally put in 1/4 cup instead of 1/4 tsp of salt and I was going to say NEVER. NEVER EVER. I GO DOWN WITH THE SHIP. *white knuckles shipwheel*
